I have a gain limiter I can set on the Rowland...

You would need to check the manual, and follow their recommendations.
Every different manufacturer has their different guidelines specific to the unit.

Busy at work also. been on a fairly good run for a bit with the ear disease. Got a tap on the shoulder at work due to many sick days.
Kicking on though bud, and refusing to leave the couch to go food shopping. This is my Sunday today.
Still messing around with batteries, got lithiums, and the AGM's are still kicking. Has been fun, and I get to piss off the power company at the same time

Sorry, I was busy chopping up stuff for my Possums for tonight's dinner.

Tricky area, Tri-amping.
Because of the increased dynamics, peak limiting with a hard knee threshold is pretty well essential. [preferably on each amp.]
But, to get it right, you need to monitor voltage outputs and set way before clipping.
Unfortunately, you need to know the voltage limits of the voice coils. You need to blow a few to know where that is.
Generally, run it to full volume then back it off 10% and set your limiter's led at that point.
If you want more, then you have to start doubling the components.

Breaking in speakers is purely argumentative. I like the sound of fresh speakers. Just use 'em as you normally would.
Eventually your ear will get used to 'em anyway regardless how new or old they are. No big deal.
